Early international town hall with Gov. Reagan and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy as the two get some (really) tough questions from an English university student ... not sure you can hear it on the internets (sic,) but when Reagan calls Diem's death a 'great tragedy' you can hear the student saying under his breathe ('good god!!!')

1. Might have been "good lord"

but I did hear something like that. Anyways, enjoyed the clip. I was too young at the time to watch Robert in action.

2. Thanks for posting this. A reminder that RFK was a reasonable

man who was willing to look at the whole of a situation to accomplish a solution.

3. Robert Kennedy, what a wonderful man!

How reasonable, how clear-thinking he was. How we miss him. The world would be a different place today had he lived, a much better place.
